Scots in Canada __ "Before 1971, Canadians of Scottish descent were listed as a
separate category from British. In the 1960's, they were the third largest
ethnic group in the country (after the English and French). Including large
numbers of Scotch-Irish from Ulster, they have formed a distinctive cultural
group since the 17th century. Not only did the Scots (of all categories,
Highland, Lowland and Scotch-Irish) prove particularly influential in the
settlement and growth of Canada; they also quickly assumed roles of leadership
and influence in Canadian society." - From britannia.com -
